Marley was dead: to begin with.

Good story but I swear Suarez never uses one word when he can use five.

It’s really all about water

Helps understand law enforcement’s fixation on back doors in encryption

As only he can Matt Parker looks at the humble triangle which, as it turns out, is responsible for reality as we know it.

A decent overview of how science become professionalized in the Victorian era and how we see the future is still much the way those of that era saw it.

A large distraction from current reading plan

As the authors say data does not flow to the lowest point like water it spreads out reaching unexpected places. They look at how even data collected for the best reasons can, and often does, get used in unintended ways. I appreciated that they don’t try to present solutions but do speak to how things can get better, slowly. Highly recommend if you are at all interested in data collection, privacy, or related topics.

The authors use the term Biometric Puppetry. I claim this as a name for an 80s hair metal tribute band

I try to reads this at least one a year. I love it.

And you should read it. Or better yet listen to it. The audio version is read by the author. Hopefully you know he is an actor so you get just a bit more than a dry listen.

Along with the stories and voices you get some life lessons so be careful or you might learn something.

Fantastic book

Reading through the witches because one needs regular Pratchett

But why would you want to? Good information and stories. A good read.
